It sounds as though your Jessie is being identified as Wheezy. You get that
warning with Wheezy, even if it is 64bit Wheezy with 64bit Google-Chrome.
Presumably because Google hasn't written a string of different error messages
for the various different things it has just stopped supporting.
Why Jessie is being identified as Wheezy is another question. Is there any
reason why you might get identified as Ubuntu 12.04? Another of the things
that has just dropped off Google's cliff.
